We’re raising a glass to excellence. At the prestigious International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) 2025, Gold Daddy proudly took home one Gold and two Silver medals, affirming our place among the world’s most celebrated craft spirit producers.
A celebration of craft, character and cherry kisses
Our Strawberry Kiss Liqueur was awarded a Gold Medal with a stellar 95 points in the Berry Fruit Liqueurs category. Judges praised its deep red hue, enchanting aroma of strawberry jam, and a refined palate full of English strawberry notes with a hint of dried fruit. A long, elegant finish sealed its place among the finest entries of the year.
“A Gold medal winner stands out. It excites you – you want to know what it is and where to buy it.” — Dirceu Vianna Junior MW, IWSC Judge
Meanwhile, our Cherry Kiss Liqueur captured a Silver Medal with 91 points in the Orchard Fruit Liqueurs category. It seduced the panel with aromas of Eccles cake and maraschino cherry, offering a full, juicy cherry experience that’s as expressive as it is memorable.
Pure vodka, pure polish excellence
Our commitment to tradition was also recognised with a Silver Medal (92 points) for Pure Vodka in the Traditional Potato Vodka category. Judges noted its complex aroma, from creamy vanilla and caramel to herbaceous and peppery undertones, all wrapped in a sharp, smoky finish. This is Polish craftsmanship, distilled.
Why IWSC medals matter
An IWSC medal isn’t just an accolade — it’s a mark of global recognition. Medals are awarded through a rigorous blind tasting process by world-class industry experts. Fewer than 3% of entries achieve a Gold, making the honour especially meaningful. As Dawn Davies MW put it:
“Gold is the va-va-voom. It makes you smile.”
Earning Silver also signals remarkable achievement. These medals reflect not only flavour and technical precision but the potential for further growth on the world stage.
What this means for Gold Daddy Vodka
These awards are more than just medals — they’re a sign that Polish spirits can stand proudly on the international stage, competing with the best in the world. With recognition from the IWSC, our products gain access to new retail opportunities, media exposure, and a global platform to showcase our commitment to quality and creativity.
